Answer:

28%

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $ 200 per unit

Current sales = 30,300 units

Break-even sales = 21,816 units

Current sales in dollars:

= Current sales × Selling price

= 30,300 units × $200 per unit

= $6,060,000

Break even sales in dollars:

= Break-even sales × Selling price

= 21,816 units × $200 per unit

= $4,363,200

Margin of Safety as a percentage of sales:

= (Current sales in dollars - Break even sales in dollars) ÷ Current sales in dollars

= ($6,060,000 - $4,363,200) ÷ $6,060,000

= $1,696,800 ÷ $6,060,000

= 0.28 or 28%

Answer:

d. not all resources are equally suited to producing every good.

Explanation:

The rule of increasing cost of opportunity is the principle that, when you keep increasing the development of one item, the cost of opportunity of creating the next unit rises.

8. Which NIMS Management Characteristic allows units from diverse agencies to connect, share information, and achieve situationa

oee [108]

Answer: Integrated Communications Unit

Explanation: The Integrated Communications Unit is one of the NIMS characteristics that allows units from diverse agencies to connect, share information and achieve situational awareness.

The Integrated communications unit includes:

1. The “hardware” systems that transfer information.

2. Planning for the use of all available communications frequencies and resources.

3.The procedures and processes for transferring information internally and externally.

Communications needs for large incidents may exceed available radio frequencies. therefore, other communications resources like cell phones or secure phone lines can be the only communications methods used to coordinate communications and to transfer large amounts of data effectively.

For a recent year L’Oreal reported operating profit of €3,385 (in millions) for its Cosmetics division. Total assets were €12,88

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The correct answer is 26.05%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Beginning Assets = 12,888 ( million)

Ending Assets = 13,099 (million)

Operating profit = 3,385 (million)

So, Average Assets for the year = (12,888 + 13,099) ÷ 2 = 12,993.5 (million)

So, we can calculate the return on investment by using following formula:

Return on investment = Operating profit ÷ Average assets for the year

By putting the value, we get

Return on investment = 3,385 ÷ 12,993.5 (million)

= 0.2605 or 26.05%

Farm workers in Oaks Farmville face a 1/85 probability of death at work and each of them receives a yearly wage of $159,106. Far

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$154,182.02

Explanation:

Probability of Farm workers in ( O.F ) facing death at work = 1/85 = 0.012

Probability of Farm workers in ( V.F ) facing death at work = 1/127 = 0.008

Value of a statistical life = $1,262,558

<u>Determine how much the workers in less risky job should get paid </u>

The less risky job is working in Valley farm(V.F ) with a death probability of = 1/127 = 0.008

The more risky job is working in valley farm ( probability = 1/85 = 0.012 )

Yearly wage of risky job = $159106

payment for less risky job can be calculated using the relation below

statistical life = ( cost incurred to reduce risk) / ( percentage of risk to death reduced ) ---------------- ( 1 )

cost incurred to reduce risk = yearly wage to high risk workers - yearly wage to low risk workers

= 159106 - X

percentage of risk to death reduced = (probability of death to high risk workers) - ( probability of death to low risk worker )

= 1/85 - 1/127 = 0.0039

back to relation 1

1262558 = ( 159106 - X ) / ( 0.0039)

159106 - X = 1262558 ( 0.0039 )

hence X ( amount to be paid to workers in the less risky job )

X = 159106 - 4923.9762 = $154,182.02

Tasya [4]

Answer: a - the management and board of directors of the targeted firm disapprove of the proposed merger

Explanation:

A hostile takeover is a situation where the board of directors and senior managers are against the proposed merger.

There are several pre-offer takeover defense mechanisms. One of them is the golden parachute.

The golden parachute is a compensation agreement between a firm and its senior managers. The firm promises a very lucrative amount of money if the senior managers leave the firm if there's a change of control.

There are also post offer takeover defense. They include:

A. The crown jewel - in a crown jewel the firm sells off a subsidiary or an asset to a third party in an effort to mitigate the hostile take over.

B. Greenmail - the target buys its shares back from the acquiring company at a price higher than the market price. This is done with an agreement that the acquirer leaves the target company. It is a form of payoff by the target company.
